Amazon Adds Video Telemedicine Visits Nationwide to Its Virtual Clinic

Amazon said this week that customers can visit its virtual clinic around the clock through Amazon’s website or app. There, they can compare prices and response times before picking a telemedicine provider from several options.

The clinic, which doesn’t accept insurance, launched last fall with a focus on text message-based consultations. Those remain available in 34 states. The new video telemedicine option also will be available in Washington, D.C.

Virtual care, or telemedicine, exploded in popularity when COVID-19 hit a few years ago. It has remained popular as a convenient way to check in with a doctor or deal with relatively minor health issues like pink eye.

BEST HYBRID SEDANS FOR UNDER $35,000

More than ever, buying a hybrid vehicle makes a lot of sense.
